 What’s New

Speech
It is human nature to express thoughts and emotions. Thus, many speeches or
forms of communication in spoken language, made by a speaker before an
audience, have been created. Speeches are more formal than talking or usual
conversations. They are primarily delivered to leave a remarkable message.

What is It

People create speeches for different purposes and through different methods of
delivery. There are two (2) major types of speeches: according to purpose and
according to delivery.

1. Types of Speech According to Purpose

a. informative or expository speech

 is mainly performed for the purpose of educating the audience on
new or relevant piece of information on a particular topic.
example: lecture of a teacher

b. persuasive speech
 is given solely for the purpose of convincing the audience to agree
with the speaker’s opinion on a particular topic.
example: speech of a lawyer

c. entertainment speech
 aims to share laughter and enjoyment to the audience through
witty and humorous lines.
example: speech of a comedian

2. Types of Speech According to Delivery

a. manuscript speech
 is the word-for-word iteration of a written message using visual aids.
example: news anchor with a teleprompter

b. memorized speech
 is the rote recitation of a written message that the speaker has
committed to memory.
 example: actor’s dialogue

c. extemporaneous speech
 is the presentation of a carefully planned and rehearsed speech,
spoken in a conversational manner using brief notes.
example: a campaign speech before a voting public

d. impromptu speech
 is the presentation of a short message without advance preparation
and is for people knowledgeable about the subject.
example: a doctor’s response to the question of a patient

What I Can Do

Now that you know how to distinguish the different types of speeches, try to make a meaningful
activity out of it by delivering a simple speech as a life coach. A life coach is someone who
helps people identify their goals and develop an actionable plan to achieve them. To help the
people who were affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, write a 2 or 3-minute persuasive
memorized speech. Your work will be evaluated by using the rubric below:

Speech Style
The way we communicate varies depending on a lot of factors such as the speech
context, speech purpose, and speech delivery. The form of language that the
speaker uses which [sic] characterized by the degree of formality is known as
speech style (Martin Joos, 1976:156).

What is It

You may have noticed that the forms of language you use in talking to different
people in different situations change in degree of formality. This is because of
speech style. There are five (5) types of speech style.

Types of Speech Style

1. Intimate

 is used for very close relationships.

example: couple
 note: Language used in this style may not be shared in public.
2. Casual

 is an informal communication between groups and peers who

have something to share and have shared background information
but do not have close relations.
example: classmates
 note: Jargon, slang, and vernacular language are used
3. Consultative

 is used in semi-formal and standard communication.

example: teacher and student
 note: Professional or mutually acceptable language is a must in
this style.
4. Formal

 is a one-way straightforward speech.

example: State of the Nation Address
 note: What the speaker says is something that has been prepared
 beforehand.
5. Frozen

 is the most formal communicative style that is usually used during

solemn ceremonies and events.
example: pledges
 note: It does not require any feedback from the audience.
